Serious riots against racism in Los Angeles for the Rodney King case

32
years ago

29 April 1992,

In the city of Los Angeles, incidents against racism begin. Four policemen were acquitted by the beating of a black taxi driver named Rodney King. The beating was videotaped and caused a scandal. Almost every jury member was white. Within hours, thousands of African Americans and Latin Americans took to the streets against police racism.

During the conflict, which lasted a week, the National Guard went out into the street and killed about 50 people. In the week after the incidents, the police arrested 11,000 people.
